weeks ago by espn.our business partners on a regular basis and this was not unusual. bring in james andrew miller author of "those guys have all the fun inside the world of espn" and author of the story in "the new york times." so, first of all, jim, i have to say, the idea that espn would cooperate with "frontline" on a documentary about the nfl and head injuries doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me because espn relies upon the nfl for everything. of course the nfl is going to squash them. >> i think that's true. starting in 1987, espn began to construct a serious journalistic enterprise. and one wonders why, 15 months ago they decide they'd needed "frontline." the statement they released yesterday sound like the statement they could have released 15 months ago explaining why they didn't decide to get in business with "frontline." the whole idea who would have control and co-brangding. espn created a big problem 15 months ago when they decided to do this. >> are there indications the frontline doc

espn has said that it's about their editing control. but what you just described is a situation where they sense that a corporate partner would be uncomfortable and maybe they acted on it. doesn't that sort of tarnish the image that espn has been trying to develop as a place of journalistic excellence, where they're unfetterred by these conflicts? >> well, you know, it's interesting because espn officials always described their organization as a walking conflict of interest. they have always had these two sides. one is these partnerships with the nfl and with the nba and with the ncaa and with different college football organizations as well where they pay lots and lots of money to get access to the rights to the games. and then there is this other side of the organization where they say their mission is to meet the fan wherever he is or she is and give the fan the information that he wants in order to serve that fan's desire to consume sports. so they have these two sides of the organization. and in between that is journalism, because

what's espn's take on this giant new rival?, we have a great deal of respect for the news corporation and for fox. they have got some excellent rights. they make smart plays. news corp will make big bets so we respect what they do, we're cognizant. but on the other hand we feel very confident in our strengths and the aggregation of rights we have and our people, in our relationships with advertisers, our distribution deals. we're in a strong position. >> you're hiring of nate silver was one of the great media surprises of the summer. when will he start and what will we see initially from nate silver and 538 being part of espn? >> nate will officially work for us as of september 1. it will take us a few months to get 538 retooled and repositioned and relaunched, but you'll begin to see nate silver across some of the platforms of espn. he brings a unique mind to this. he really is at the forefront of the analytics movement and we'll look to use him where he can make a difference, help us understand big events better, and then, of

espn will want more costs. then they'll want to pass it along. time warners of the world and the cablevisions of the world are going to fight them. this could be a really tough fight. >> listen, you're entering this extraordinarily historic, disruptive period. but listen, as someone -- if you turned off cnbc and espn, i think those are the only two channels that i would actually notice they went off. so truly the powerhouse of disney still. >> still the powerhouse. jack bergeron, buy or sell right now? >> i think we sell. i think we go down about 10%. this is the beginning of the correction we've all been waiting for. we see about 170 s&p points come off. you know what happens? we've seen capitulation, which we've already had. we saw the cash flows come in. and now we've got the confidence that everybody was hoping we would get. that all signals a near-term top. >> that is a big number, 10%. that is a very big number. john rutledge, i don't think the economy's all that strong. i see a lot of part-time workers. i thought the employment numbers wer

the new york times says sources told them the n-f-l pressured espn to pull out of the project.which espn co-producing with p-b-s. let's not forget: the nfl is currently being sued by more than four- thousand former players and their wives. they claim the league concealed knowledge of the long-term effects caused by repeated hits to the helmet. and several former players have committed suicide in recent years.including san diego chargers great junior seau. doctors say he, along with dozens of other deceased players.suffered from severe brian damage. so with that lawsuit against the nfl pending.the last thing the league needs is one of its partners shining a national spotlight on just how dangerous football is. the nfl denies pressuring espn.and the sports network says it backed out because of a lack of editorial control. the two part documentary on football and head injuries is set to air in october.espn just will not be involved. this has a lot of people talking.especially since so many kids are about to start football season. sheila: i let my kid play, he could get hurt worse riding his

all of the revenue that espn throws off to the book.his month, they have made no secret of the fact that they want to take over and supersede espn. you guys talk about that when you're talking in meetings about what has happened at espn? >> guest on the sports marketplace is getting a lot more competitive. that is where the companies are generating this revenue. having said that we are talking about the entrenched position over the long-term. especially well into the future, that is not to take away and we know that they are very capable and can in fact be a viable competitor. liz: okay, we cannot ignore the business. holding up with the park business. these are opportunities as they invest more. we'll throw out more cash? >> some of the improvements in the west coast resorts and expansion of fantasy land, they had cruise ships, large investments, but i think that they will ultimately be accredited to the company's margin in those parks and resorts are ultimately the most was awesome asset that they have. it's great to see them raise pr

they can have stores like the espn zone or newsstands like cnbc has at airports. feeling towards networks to begin with and tend to have a negative feeling towards cable providers. i think it's an unfair battle. >> jason, we were trying to understand the leverage points in all of this and one of the things that's been very interesting over the past couple days now is that ratings have not fallen off at cbs which may give them more leverage in their conversations and les moonves pushing back on time warner's latest proposal. why have the ratings not had a steeper decline, given the importance that we seem to place on time warner cable? >> well, we're only talking about 3 million households in the entire cable -- the entire pay tv or tv ecosystem which is less than 3% of total households watching cbs programs. i think despite the noise and emotion being created by the cbs and time warner cable pr machines, these disputes have become more commonplace. since the beginning of 2012 there have been over 35 publicized disputes, 150 channels affected and the reality is tha

espn and cbs sports are close behind drawing traffic from their tv audience. >> i think for a lot ofanies, fantasy has meant one thing, and that is revenue. fans are so interested in getting at that edge against the other players that they're willing to pay for it. >> reporter: it seems the sites benefit from the competition. 7% of users look at just one site for their research. look at this. 44%, they look at four or five different sites to research their teams, and 30% look at six sites or more. all those eyeballs mean more advertising revenue. so who is playing fantasy football? the average team owner is a 41-year-old white male, makes $92,750, a married, owns a home, and he spends $467 per year playing fantasy sports. espn is playing right into that you'd yens. >> tom, you're in the league. >> bill, you're insane. >> reporter: watch out, guys, the ladies are signing up as well, and the nfl knows it. >> touchdown, matt ryan. >> straight to julio. >> women are becoming increasingly an audience with the nfl. the numbers on that are really impressive. and it's a way for women who do

apparently espn has a source saying mlb has evidence that he attempted to coerce at least one of thethat's why the league is saying that he deserves even a bigger punishment than the rest of them. >> he will find out shortly. >>> another giant recall of contaminated ground beef by the same kansas company. the latest recall by national beef packaging company involves 50,000 pounds of meat sold mainly to wholesalers in 40 and 50-pound cases. the usda says it's unclear which retailers sold the meat. it recalled meat in june after a similar e. coli scare. >>> the bipartisan bill that would lower student loan rates by tying them to financial markets was overwhelmingly approved last night. undergraduates borrowing this fall will pay about 3.9% interest on subsidized stafford loans. the rates will fluctuate with the economy, but they can't go much higher than 8.25%. >>> if you haven't checked facebook's value lately, you might be surprised. shares traded above $38 briefly yesterday before pulling back just a little bit. that's the price at which the company hit the market for the first time

stage, and he kept baltimore on the national stage every time he showed up on the tonight show, on an espnommercial, on late night with david letterman. and for the many who thought so highly of art donovan, they had to think highly of baltimore too. it was an adopted home, a home he loved. born in brooklyn, but it became a national figure in baltimore. and while he loved his hometown, this truly became his hometown. a funeral service with so many powerful moments. one that stood out during the prayer of the faithful, art donovan's 86-year-old sister, her voice crackling as he said good-bye to her older brother, her only brother, the 89-year-old art donovan. the gentleman on the top of the steps wearing the yellow sport coat is lenny moore, former teammate of art donovan with the 1958-1959 baltimore colts. and also his teammate on the team of football i mortals, that is the hall of fame jacket that all of the inductees wear, all 280 of them. you may recall that's the jacket that jonathan ogden donned for the first time since last weekend in canton. ravens president standing at the top of t

dan, people watching our sister station, espn, transfixed by all of this yesterday.. bad idea for aaron hernandez to write this letter if in fact he did? >> when they say anything can and will be used against you in a court of law. it's real. anything can and will be used against you in a court of law. now, with that said, there's nothing specifically in this letter that's particularly incriminating that would lead prosecutors to say, aha. often, you're looking for inconsistent statements between one time and another. he doesn't address any of the specifics in the case, the ballistics, any of the crucial evidence. but, you know, when he ends it with, please keep this off social media, it shows him how clueless he is. >> to that point, are you surprised that counsel didn't counsel against responding to letters. >> you know, if counsel was going to be advising on this, counsel would have said, write something like this. right? basically just, i'm not guilty. thank you for your support. i really appreciate it. can't wait to get back to my life, et cetera. but aaron hern
